Interact with your device without touching it. Just say the launch phrase and it will be ready for your commands, even when it's asleep on the table or a passenger seat. Tell your phone to navigate to an address, snooze your alarm, play your favorite song, check your voicemail, and much more. It learns your voice (after a short training session) so that nobody else can trigger the phone.
